freitasm: Anyone here with 2degrees broadband? Anyone here not with 2degrees broadband?

 

 

 

I am with 2degrees broadband, and have been pestered by these calls for two weeks. I answered one 3 days a go, and they initiated a login to my amazon account which triggered the 2vs TOTP pin being sent to my phone from Amazon. The lady(scammer) then asked me to read the pin(I read a different fake one), so she then asked me to turn on my PC to cancel the Prime subscription(which I never had).

 

 

 

It looks like they are trying to access my account with a password from some other breach(Not exactly sure which one). I changed my Amazon password just in case.

I might try actually responding to one if I get another call, just to waste their time.

I also got one, but from different number: +61 451 069 124

 

I am very curious as to how they got hold of my mobile number...are there any call screening technologies for mobile available in NZ? On my landline a simple voice prompt asking the caller to state their name and press hash normally defeats these automated calls.
